The Student Co-op has played an extremely valuable and significant role in the cocurricular life of the university since 1933. All students, faculty members, and staff members who pay the activity fee are members of the association. Virtually all campuswide activities outside the instructional program are sponsored entirely or in part by the Co-op. The student’s I-Card will admit him/her free of charge or at a reduced fee to university social, cultural, and athletic events.

The Student Co-op operates the Hadley Union Building (HUB) complex, which includes the Co-op Store and the HUB Fitness Center. The HUB, built by Co-op members through the activity fee, offers many facilities for use by the university community.

The Co-op Recreational Park comprises 270 acres of wooded hillsides and fields. Included are a lodge building which will accommodate groups of up to two hundred people, a ski hut, an eighteen-station exercise course, cross-country skiing and hiking trails, a picnic shelter, an archery range, two softball fields, and a pond for fishing.

The Penn, IUP’s campus newspaper, is published two times per week during the fall and spring semesters by students wishing to gain practical experience in journalism, business, advertising, marketing, and graphic design. Students are encouraged to join the staff of The Penn, regardless of their chosen major. Applications for staff positions may be obtained from The Penn office, room 235 of the HUB or online at www.thepenn.org.
